He must test the ground for his next consultation in 2022, to try to extend his term for a new term of six years, “he replied in a statement from the aztec sun.

Finally, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), pointed out that law enforcement is not being consulted and that in case they find evidence to persecute this be done regardless of exercises such as the one carried out this Sunday.
